Cutlass Clones

Posted these a while back, before paint. I'm slow, but finally got round to finishing them off. Very close to the original shape/size. I used AYC rather than WC. Also cut the lip from stainless and ran the wire through it rather than attaching with screws. A little tighter wiggle than the original. These are right at 2 oz.

You know what happens when you assume things... Besides, I sent you something that is more appropriate for the river and can be used in Rhody

"Sweet design"

The design was by Point Jude, though I do not know the history of the plug. Skitter let me borrow one and I basically cloned it. Pretty cool plugs!
